Tired of denying the obvious, makers of the popular TV sitcom The Office have admitted that Scranton is indeed the birthplace of vice president Joe Biden, and that countless parallels between their hilarious episodes and the daily interactions of a group of idiosyncratic characters in Barack Obama's Oval Office are not coincidental. Unable to process all the rich comedy ore oozing out of the White House, Office producers have given up rewriting it in allegoric terms and decided to go with a straight reenactment in a new side-splitting and faster-paced spin-off - The (Oval) Office.

The cast of characters include president Barack (Barack Obama), who thinks he's the coolest, funniest, best president ever - which, of course, makes him the uncoolest, most obnoxious and annoying president as far as the country is concerned. Salesman David (David Axelrod) loves sabotaging his goofy and naive cube-mate Joe (Joe Biden). Rahm (Rahm Emanuel) started as a self-possessed chief of staff, but quickly figured that he'd be better off running for the mayor of Chicago.~Supporting staff include an office alcoholic, a love-struck slut, an uncouth slob, an ambivalent kleptomaniac, a melancholic loser, a formerly closeted homosexual, and a bitter first lady with an always inappropriate, out-of-this-world garish wardrobe accented by bullet-studded boob belts.

Spoiler alert: do not read further if you'd rather be continuously surprised by the news coming from the real-life Oval Office.

In the kick-off episode of The Oval Office titled "Big Effing Deal," Barack must confront the consequences of a terrible decision made three years earlier. While on the campaign trail, he promised to pay for everyone's healthcare, housing, and education, in addition to creating millions of high-paying jobs - simply because he likes playing the hero, even when it entails making promises he can't possibly keep. A prisoner of instant gratification, Barack lives in the moment, oblivious to the ramifications of his actions.

At this point the The Oval Office verisimilitude brigade might wonder, who on Earth would allow Barack to make such a ridiculous promise? How did they think a man with no management skills, who used public assistance to cover his own healthcare and education, could create jobs and pay for the expensive perks of three hundred million people?

Barack's stumbling, unconvincing answer is that he imagined he'd spend enough of everyone's money to create prosperity beyond his wildest dreams. But the truth is that the president and his constituents engaged in mutually beneficial self-deception: Barack allowed the voters to imagine he'd be their deep-pocketed, unlikely savior, and deluded themselves into thinking a community organizer who never held a real job could make their dreams come true.

Before Barack could come clean he first had to endure the guileless exuberance of voters convinced that he was the magic man with the keys to their future. They sang, they danced, they rapped, they offered heartrending testimonials about how the pseudo-divine intervention of their "guardian angel" helped them resist the allure of drugs and dropping out of school. It was almost as if they all conspired to make Barack feel like the worst human being in the world.

But it is hard to shame a shameless man, so Barack didn't seem too torn up when he finally admitted that the promised jobs didn't exist, that all the nation's money had been wasted on the pie-in-the-sky stimulus scheme, and there wasn't a penny left in the government's coffers to pay for anyone's healthcare, college tuitions, mortgages, or even social security. However, he would be happy to give them the world's worst consolation prize - a gigantic chart of negative job growth that, if flipped backwards or placed against the mirror, would show how great the economy might have been if the government would get out of people's way and allow them to take care of themselves.

Obama's accomplices on this voyage of soul-crushing disappointment were a team of mainstream media journalists. They knew damn well that Barack wouldn't be able to live up to his lofty promises, yet adorably got swept up in the excitement and exhilaration of his beautiful lie all the same. Later on, they also helped Barack see the upside of his deception - a disproportionate number of Americans have awakened to the need to take their lives into their own hands, without counting on a sweet-talking big-government sugar daddy to help them.

Barack wasn't the only president whose best intentions went horribly awry. In the episode's flashback, congressional Democrats cunningly tricked the previous president George into supporting a program of giving houses to people who couldn't afford them. In the end, they couldn't pay what they didn't have. It all ended in a laugh riot with the collapse of the world economy, humiliating George and helping Barack win the presidency.

Joe Biden hasn't been given much to do this season. He's always funny, but he seldom scores more than a few lines per episode. Hopefully that is about to change.

In the final scene Barack chastises Joe for his extensive use of baby talk around the Oval Office. For a short while, the president acts like an adult but his cold pose quickly dissipates when Biden repeats Barack's earlier trick and flips his voter approval chart upside down to make it look better. This makes Barack smile. After all, who of us hasn't made an impossible, empty promise and then tried to cover it up with more lies and deliberate self-delusion? Admit it, there's a little Barack Obama in each of us.

To overcome the lack of media coverage of this Administration, and to get topics and ideas across to peasants without sounding like he is reading from "Das Kapital" or "The Communist Manifesto" or talking down to them disdainfully.

This could be an idea from Axelrod. He has less intelligence than he is given credit for.

In order to add verisimilitude and recreate the feel of the Obama Office in my own home, I will have my back to the TV and watch this show in the mirror on the opposite wall (without any lights on so that I don't increase my carbon output to unacceptable levels).

Karl Rave, a former advisor to the [ooogh] Bush White House stated Dear Leader has been an udder failure. Not sure at this point Mr. Rave understands that there is no longer dairy farming on the South Lawn, like there was when he was there. Where does dear Leader keep his cows, at Camp David?Mr Rave is long overdue for a vacation.

This would be funny if it weren't so tragically real and true....

Comrade,Thank you for your great defense of Dear Leader.Look at the quote again, an "udder" failure, referring to cow upkeep,comrade!

Some white guy answering all questions like he new answers beforehand. I did not catch his name right away, after a response to a question, a comrade in the back row said ' that's Boll Sheetsky". So I guess his name is Boll Sheetsky, at least, that is what he does for a leeving.

This sounds more like a Reality show? Is it a Reality show?? If not then I nominate Whoopi Goldenborg to play Mama MO. Perfect, is it not?

This is a glorious idea and will give the little peoples more to love about dear Leader. cough cough

"Barack practices to throw out the first pitch at a Scranton Scrappers game with embarrassing results, and laughs with Joe and Rahm about his college days. Tune in Thursday for 'High and Way Left'on 'The Oval Office' !"

Our glorious 'People's Film Makers union-109' is also working on another video of the white house crew and the Dear leader. It is spin off of 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's nest". Dear leader plays himself,...a complete brainwashed, leftist, closet-homo, who finds himself labotamized in the white house; which is really a asylum. Pelosi is nurse Ratchet and Biden and the advisors play other brain dead entities wandering around aimlessly in the asylum. Senator Kerry is playing the mute Indian. Jack Nicholson saw the first cuts of the movie and started cursing. He said something about dear Leader's performance. He said it was 'alright..but I didn't play no homo in the original'. Even now...Mr. Nicholson's lifetime tax donations are being auditied by the People's IRS.

There are talks about making a version of Titanic based on recent Californian elections. In the film, the majority of passengers will vote to hit the iceberg, and the minority that didn't vote for it, will go down with the ship anyway.

Let me further that observation, Comrade Red Square, it has also been related that the entire western seaboard of the USSA no longer has to worry about Global Warming, due to their new proximity to the Arctic Ass (sp?) Cap they are finding a head on collision with some cold ass &#@! is inevitable.

The uncontested absurdities of today are the accepted slogans of tomorrow. They come to be accepted by degrees, by precedent, by implication, by erosion, by default, by dint of constant pressure on one side and constant retreat on the other - until the day when they are suddenly declared to be the country's official ideology. ~ Ayn Rand
